    I actually JUST picked up my Michaels order that had 2 of those pumpkin paper pads and I had the same idea! I can’t wait to make mine! Thanks!

    I have been on the fence to try this. I too before the new punch came out specifically sharper for those of us wanting to create custom covers jammed my HP full punch and it's no joke how hard it was to unjam.
    I do have the new punch and my laminator from my custom resin image years so i just need to brave cutting those straight lines. 😂
    Loved your paper choices ❤

      @@ItsLaurenE You should give it a try 😊. it’s a fun project and there’s so many options for covers with the paper pads. I have the older Happy Planner punch and that one definitely won’t punch through. Glad to hear the newer ones are a bit sharper and could work.

    I have thought many times about creating my own but I would need to buy a laminator and a punch and they don’t come cheap.

    • @CreativelyGracious
      @CreativelyGracious  3 місяці тому +1

      Yes it could be costly when buying. A few tips though; you can find a decently priced laminator at Walmart and they usually laminate up to 5 mil. And as for the punch, you can check Michael’s and wait for them to have a 40% off sale. That’s how I got mine. Also, if you plan to make more than one it can be worth it.

    Could you adhere the two papers together and then cut them to the size you want? That way you don’t have to line the paper up!
    I will probably just buy paper with a picture on both sides

    • @CreativelyGracious
      @CreativelyGracious  3 місяці тому

      Yes, that is definitely an option too. I like to cut the paper prior to adhering to save on my tape runner 😁.
